Alpine CHM-S620 6-Disc CD Changer

Pros: Simple to use, easy access to CD cassette.
Cons: None Yet

After the purchase of my Alpine Cassette Receiver, I found that there was one thing that would help make my truck sound system much more enjoyable. I needed a CD changer. Actually I purchased both units in the same visit to the same store but the...

Pros: Great sound, no skips, great value
Cons: No matter where you install it you will have some inconveniences

I’m delighted to write a review of the product, which led me to discover this website. And today seems to be the right occasion—my one-year anniversary with Epinions. It was December 21st, 1999. I was browsing the Net for information on a car stereo...

Pros: quick cd changes, no skipping, affordable price
Cons: cd loading

After 6 years of great service, my stock Acura cd changer started having problems, so I decided it was time for a new one. I came onto Epinions to check out which highest rated cd changer would be the replacement. After careful reviewing and price...

Pros: easy to add to a factory radio, never skips
Cons: door is weak

I recently added this changer to my Acura Vigor. Honda had employed Alpine to do the audio in the early 90’s and hence made factory stereos with CD controllers compatible with Alpine changers. I understand that a few BWM, Mazda, Volvo, and Mercedes...

Pros: Great sound, easy to use.
Cons: Have to stop the car to change CD selection

Wow! Once you try an in-car CD changer like the Alpine, you will never want to drive without one again! Any in-car CD changer is great. No more switching CD's in heavy traffic. No more fumbling for lost CD's on the floor and under the seat. Instead,...

Pros: great reciever
Cons: none

The Civic has a standard alpine receiver built in. Buy an Alpine changer
2. The choice was obvious to me before I purchased the car...Alpine.

Alpine, hands down, makes the best car stereo equipment. I have been in numerous friends' cars...

Pros: Works with your factory stereo
Cons: Wasn't included with the car

We bought a Honda Odyssey, and ended up with a cassette deck that had built in CD-changer controls, but no changer. Honda gets $350+ for their players, starting with a single CD player attachment.

That wasn't the route I wanted to go, but I...

Pros: price, sound, no skips
Cons: changing disks

I recently had an Alpine CHM-S620 installed in my 1999 Honda Civic LX 4DR - thanks to the help of other epinions. So I felt it was only right for me to write an opinion now!

I had three options of where to locate the changer in my Civic:
...

Pros: Great value, never skips, quick changing
Cons: none

My Acura Legend Coupe came pre-wired from the factory for a trunk mounted CD changer.I checked with my local Acura dealer to see how much one cost and was a bit dismayed to learn that there changer was going to set me back $600.

After...

Pros: Good sound, no skip, ease of use
Cons: Reliability is a big MINUS!!!

Had my CHMS-620 for 1 year and 27 days when it decided not to play anymore (first played song & went to next song but gave an error code CDE-1 which means the cassette tray was jammed), got it home and ejected the cassette and re-inserted it. It...

Pros: convenient
Cons: adapter confusion

The Alpine CD changer is an excellent selection when installation space is at a premium. Further, Alpine quality car audio components is unsurpassed. Feel confident when you buy Alpine, but don't forget to correctly install it.

When I got my...

Pros: Crash proof; doesn't skip*
Cons: -

I bought my Alpine 6 CD Changer right after I got my new 1994 Honda Accord. I originally wanted to have a CD changer that played through the FM radio because I thought that was the cheapest way to add a CD changer. My Accord has a very decent Honda...

Pros: One Pextris, One Dexter. Who went wrong? Not our reality.
Cons: Blame your selves.

Well... By now I'm sure many of you have read our plans which parallel your misfortunes in the commentary provided by my inter-realitary partner "Alpha". As you may or may not already know, he is the more reasonable of the two of us. What can I say? I...

Pros: Never skips, good resale value.
Cons: price, but it is worth it.

I have had problems with CD changers skipping in the past until I got my Alpine 6 CD changer. This has been by far the best sounding Cd changer with the best quality. I am so impressed with the Alpine brand that I will NEVER go back to anything else....

Pros: Soft support for your cd's
Cons: Only holds six discs

If your planning on throwing down some money for a changer then you might as well throw it down for this one. Why? Well I think it is a solid changer, with no problems or cut corners on design. When you push the magazine of cd's in the changer you can...

Pros: Small design. Great sound. Does not skip. Can be controlled by most stock head units.
Cons: Only 6 discs.

I installed the Alpine CHM-S620 in my 1999 Acura 3.2 TL. All I needed to buy was an adapter and now I can control the changer from my stock deck. The sound is amazing. I have been using Alpine since 1991. The best part of it is that it does not skip....

Pros: Completely skip proof.
Cons: 6 CDs not 8 or 10

What seemed like a negative to my Honda Civic, turned into a HUGE positive. The Civic has a standard alpine receiver built in. This means when you want to add an aftermarket CD Changer, you have two choices:
1. Buy an Alpine changer
2. Buy...

Pros: NEVER skips
Cons: usually costs a little bit more than other CD changers

I've had my Alpine 6 disc changer since Christmas of 1999, and I have to say I have not listened to the radio once since I got it. I love how I have the freedom of listening to a variety of music with out switching radio stations, and dealing with...

Pros: Withstands all types of weather and road conditions
Cons: Access in the dark

I think what makes your CD player the most effective is where you place it. This particular one is on the top of my trunk in an 850 Volvo. I've only had it for around two months now, but so far there have been no problems. The placement in my trunk is...

Pros: QUICK, NEVER SKIPS
Cons: NONE

When I first got my car I need a CD player so I decided to get a changer which was compatible with my car stereo. Then I fell in love with the Alpine CHM model. This model looked amazing especially since it had the Alpine name. So I bought it a...

Cons: Nobody helps me !

Dear sirs ;
Please, let me know ASAP if my CD Changer Alpine model CHM-S620 FITS in my new Chevrolet Corvette ;
I bought this CD Changer on Circuit City for about five months ago, and that guys installed it in my Honda Civic, wich I traded...

Pros: the clearity is unbelievable. tons of power and watts to high end speakers and subwoofers

Pros: Clarity, Skip free playback
Cons: none

This is the second CD shuttle from Alpine I have owned. I thought they were both great. I have this connected via the Ai-Net cables provided by Alpine. I highly recommend using these cables, as the clarity of my overall sound was dramatically...

Pros: Sound quality and ease of use
Cons: None

I loved my CHM-S620, however, I have purchased another car and it came with a changer. Unfortunately, I am now having to sell the changer after only using it for 3 months. During the 3 months I played all kinds of CD's and never was disappointed with...

Pros: Great sound, perfect for all types of music, specifically music involving pet sounds
Cons: It scratched my "Jingle Cats" CD, now it just sounds like cats being tortured

If I were to be philosophical, and compare this to ANY item, I would put it above a hamster and below a time machine. No, but honestly, I've had this player for a while now, and its advantage far override its disadvantages. It plays six CDs, it changes...

Pros: Good Quality
Cons: Compatibility

This is just a good CD changer. I have one in my Volkswagon Jetta. With a good 8-Speaker system, this changer will have you jammin' like crazy in the car. If all you want from a CD player is steady, high fidelity sound, the Alpine CHM-S620 delivers that...

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Isn't for every car or truck.

The Alpine 620 is a great choice for anyone looking for a CD changer to go in the back of their vehicle. If you have a sports car this should be your first choice if your looking to buy a cd changer. It is not hard to install and holds way more cds...

Pros: Excellent sound, easy to use
Cons: None

Seeking to replace a factory installed stereo/tape deck, I shopped a couple of discount stores, but as wholly unimpressed with the salespeople, the selection, the availability, and the price come-ons. So it was off to the home and car entertainment...
